Description

The current NuGet release includes a library but no compiler. It should include a compiler that matches the library.
This affects users who wish to use an automated build process based on MsBuild and package restore, and who do not wish to check the compiler into their source tree.
Side-note: the community version does include a compiler, is older, but has many more downloads. The official version should clearly state that (a) it contains a compiler (b) it is the official version.
